“I’m thrilled to announce that Morae Global has achieved another strategic milestone with the appointment of James Neath, the former BP Global Head of Litigation, as the President of Clutch,” states Shahzad Bashir, Morae Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Jim’s extensive litigation experience in the energy sector is a natural complement to Clutch’s work in the financial services, energy and life sciences sectors and other highly regulated businesses. Morae Global’s clients will find Jim’s innovative thinking, deep expertise and client focus tremendous assets.”

In this new role, Neath will lead Clutch’s global team to deliver innovative fact development, eDiscovery, information management, and managed review solutions as well as information governance and discovery consulting services to legal and compliance professionals around the world.

“The legal services industry is changing–rapidly. Every year, technology becomes more essential for effective lawyering,” says Neath. “Clutch provides unique solutions that disrupt the status quo and help law departments and law firms serve their clients faster, more efficiently and effectively. When I was on the corporate side, I chose the Clutch team because they deliver superior innovation and insight across the discovery life cycle. As a member of the Morae Global group, Clutch now brings comprehensive legal consulting solutions that virtually no one else can offer. I’m thrilled to come on board as a member of this trusted team.”

Neath will be based out of Morae Global’s world headquarters in Houston, Texas. He brings to Clutch 30+ years of experience as a practicing litigator, including 25 years as a senior legal executive in the energy sector. Before joining Morae Global, Neath served as Associate General Counsel for the energy giant BP plc, leading its global litigation practice. Following a judicial clerkship, he began his legal career in Chicago for the Mayer Brown law firm.

Neath’s appointment follows the recent appointment of Varun Mehta, a founding member of Clutch Group, to the Morae Global leadership team, assuming responsibilities for Morae’s marketing, client engagement and new market development. Jeffrey Seymour also recently was appointed as Morae’s Chief Technology Officer and will oversee Morae’s ongoing investment in delivering inventive technology solutions. Brian Flack has been promoted from Clutch Group’s General Counsel to the Head of Clutch’s Global Delivery, responsible for seamless implementation of Morae Global’s information and discovery management solutions and ongoing client satisfaction.
